Default RE: RCGF Engines

I just finished the engine set up on the C47 Im building. Here is an idea I had for the choke. I used some 4-40 rod with a z bend to hook into the choke arm. Then I ran the rod through a ply bracket I made that fits the mounting holes. I ran the rod out to where it just clears the prop when choke is in the OFF position. You push the rod in to choke, then pull out to run. Saves using a seperate servo, and keeps it simple. Was just an idea The ignition module is mounted on a platform I fabricated from ply and held down with two tie straps. There is a layer of white foam pad between the module and wood base. I think this will work? Anyone care to make a comment on how the module is mounted? I dont think there would be an issue, but open to suggestions
